Horse exercise boots come in a variety of designs, each suitable for a selection of activities the horse may be required for. From tendon support to the heel protection, there are many different types to consider which can make it difficult to choose when browsing through the 100’s of available options.
Dependent on the type, horse exercise boots can protect tendons, the ligaments, splint bones and heels. You’ll consider the different levels of protection and correct sizing, alongside being mindful of a suitable budget to keep to when shopping. Then there’s the contingency budget, the amount that’s set aside should you find exercise boots that make you go wow!
Luxe Equine boasts a range of stunning exercise boots for horses in a variety of colours. Each boot is kept secure with sturdy wrap-around straps, dressed with strong velcro. The delicate branding features on all items, and each boot is machine washable. The range is durable, of excellent quality and budget-friendly.
The ‘sparkle’ is embedded in the material during the manufacturing process to reduce a lack of lustre over time. The finished product is soft to the touch with a high sparkle shine.
Dressage Wrap Boot
When selecting leg protection for dressage, a popular alternative to exercise bandages is the wrap boot.
Luxe Equine’s Dressage Wrap Boots are quick and easy to put on and offer protection to tendons and ligaments in the cannon bone region. Additional benefits include the even application of pressure and a soft flexible inner. A quick flick with a dandy brush removes dirt and spares time as no rolling up is needed before packing away.
